Rubber and its types
Type of Rubbers:
Natural rubber:
Natural rubber has remarkable elasticity and it undergoes long-range reversible extensions.
It is manufactured from latex-latex is obtained from bark trees.
Structure:...
Biodegradable polymers

Condensation Polymerisation or Step Growth Polymerisation
If the two bifunctional monomer molecules undergo condensation with loss of a simple molecule of water, alcohol etc.
Polyamides:
These polymers possessing amide linkages are important...
Types of Polymerisation Reactions
Types of Polymerisation Reactions:
There are two broad types of polymerisation reactions, i.e., the addition or chain growth polymerisation and condensation or step growth polymerisation.
Addition...
Classification of Polymers
Classification of Polymers:
There are several ways of classification of polymers based on some special considerations.
Based on Source:
Under this type of classification, there are three...
